TBN a concern, change it at 7500

If you're willing to spend $6 or so more on your oil, then I see Castrol EDGE 0W-40 in your future. It's LSPI proof at this point and will work much better in your application and stand up a heck of a lot better to the fuel dilution and the demands of two turbos that literally cook the oil inside of them. I'd recommend a good 5W-40, however, the Castrol EDGE 5W-40 US has been diluted to a 12.9 cSt@100 at this point and it will shear like hell.

W/O TBN....not much use. Flashpoint (335)...is very low as well.

Why Magnatec? I would move to a stouter oil such as QSUD, PP or M-1 5w30......and pay a little extra for a TBN #, the next time you use Blackstone.

QSUD, really? Rotell Gas Truck 5W-30 just might be a better option, but not as good as EDGE 0W-40.

Im using Castrol Extended Performance 5W30 in my Sonata Ltd and will leave it in full 15 000 miles. Maybe do a UOA afterward just to compare the results with Amsoil and the Caterham blend results I still have.
The Castrol synthetic oil seems to be real good.

I just noticed that I replied to a 4-year-old thread... I'm tired, that's for sure. How's your Sonata holding up? Did the motor blow itself to pieces or at least develop a rod knock with some cylinder wall scuffing by now? Just curious...

Yes, it would be nice if older threads were archived so people could not drag up 4 year old threads.
